Haha that's funny. Well, i guess that'll work for sure, but no doubt it might also cause regret.
Personally, i feel that the option of not wanting to reproduce should be done with earnest, and it shouldn't be coupled with regret.
Adoption is a definite thumbs up.

Great idea.

You go first!

The frustrating thing for me is that there seems to be absolutely nothing one can do to make it clear to these people.

I'm almost convinced that if it got to the point were the world were filled with dead bodies -there would still be people crawling their way TO GET TO THE FERTILITY CLINIC.

No religion i've heard of considers overpopulation a sin. Not even scientists seem to think it's a problem - for example I've seen a program about global warming on PBS and they didn't mention overpopulation once in an hour. Not one fucking time.

To top it all off, the main scientist featured on the program made a lot of salient points, seemed very intelligent until the end of the show - where they showed him playing with his fucking child and saying something like "we need to save our world for our children and our children's children".

The best I can figure out is it really is hard-wired in people's DNA - even if it flies in the face of common sense. I figure I and my fellow childfree humans - are mutations born without this urge.

People need to realize that the human world isn't somehow more priviliged, or more of a default than the World itself.

Which has been around 4.5 billion years before our sorry asses showed up. I don't know what pisses me off more: human arrogance or human ignorance.

It's tough to realize that one's very own species is perhaps the worst thing to ever happen to this planet.
